MediaSite Experiences Significant Employee, Geographic Growth
- Employee Population Up 75% Since Q2; Company Represented
Across U.S. and Canada -
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 29 - MediaSite, Inc., the global pioneer
in developing software and applications for converting traditional
video into an interactive medium, is experiencing a meteoric rise
in both the size and geographic distribution of its workforce.
Since the end of the second quarter of this year, the company's
employee population has grown by nearly 75%. In addition, the downtown-based
company has recently opened offices in Los Angeles, New York and
Washington, D.C., as well as expanded its U.S. sales force to include
representatives in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia,
San Francisco and Seattle. The company also has a sales manager
in London and sales executives in Mexico City, Toronto and Vancouver.
"When I joined MediaSite in April, there were only 37 employees
and no physical offices outside of our Pittsburgh headquarters"
said MediaSite Chief Executive Officer Vinay Mehra. "Now, we're
rapidly approaching 100 employees, setting up additional offices
to house our sales force and preparing to announce major expansion
plans outside the United States. This rate of growth is truly phenomenal
and reflects the growing demand for our products and applications."
One of the more significant areas of growth for MediaSite has been
in its sales organization, which barely existed half a year ago.
Since July, the company has increased its number of sales executives
and managers four-fold, including the addition of Vice President
of Sales Chris Thigpen in August.
